A chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of Minority Entrepreneurship, 2021, pp 87-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter criticises existing theoretical perspectives on opportunity structures, in relation to minority entrepreneurs, for the predominant insistence on they being objective, material rules and resources, and the same for everyone. In this chapter, an intersectional approach is adopted considering opportunity structures as discursive and divergent, acknowledging the involvement of policymakers, public officials and institutional representatives. Contextualising various opportunity structures in two national contexts, the chapter empirically illustrates how opportunity structures in a specific national context are not uniform and stable, but rather in the making, thus they differ for minority entrepreneurs.
